1 FOLIA HISTORICO NATURALIA MUSEI MATRAENSIS : New country data of some mayflies (Ephemeroptera) from Europe TIBOR KOVÁCS & DÁVID MURÁNYI ABSTRACT: Twelve species: Siphlonurus lacustris Eaton, 1870, Baetis alpinus (Pictet, 1843), B. digitatus Bengtsson, 1912, B. kozufensis Ikonomov, 1962, B. liebenauae Keffermüller, 1974, B. lutheri Müller- Liebenau, 1967, B. melanonyx (Pictet, 1843), B. muticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Centroptilum luteolum (Müller, 1776), Habrophlebia lauta Eaton, 1884, Ephemera lineata Eaton, 1870, and Caenis strugaensis Ikonomov, 1961 are new to the fauna of Albania. Five species: Baetis liebenauae, B. lutheri, Cloeon simile Eaton, 1870, Serratella ikonomovi Puthz, 1971 and Caenis strugaensis are new to the fauna of Montenegro. Ecdyonurus insignis (Eaton, 1870), and Brachycercus harrisellus Curtis, 1834 are new to the Croatian, while Serratella albai (González del Tánago & García de Jalón, 1983) to the Portuguese, and Baetis beskidensis Sowa, 1972 to the Romanian fauna. In addition, occurrence of Serratella ikonomovi is confirmed for Albania. Introduction In the present paper we publish new country records from our Ephemeroptera material collected during the past 14 years. The work is based on the new European monography by BAUERNFEIND & SOLDÁN (2012), that summarises mayfly distribution by countries. We refer to this book in our distributional data and nomenclature, with additions and corrections in some cases. Material and methods For collecting methods see KOVÁCS et al. (1998). The material has been preserved in 70% ethanol, and housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) and the HNHM Mátra Museum (Gyöngyös).

2 BAETIDAE Leach, 1815 Baetis alpinus (Pictet, 1843) Albania, Tropojë district, Lekbibaj, Lekbibaj River at its influence to Koman Lake, N , E , 180 m, , 1 larva, FZ-KT-MD (HNHM: 2012/36). New to Albania. Baetis beskidensis Sowa, 1972 Romania, OnceÕti: Iza River, N , E , 290 m, , 9 larvae, JP-Béla Kiss-Zoltán Müller (MM: A ). New to Romania. Baetis digitatus Bengtsson, 1912 Albania, Sarandë district, Shkallë, Pavillë River NW of the village, N E , 20 m, , 1 larva, JP-KT-MD-PG (MM: ). New to Albania. Baetis kozufensis Ikonomov, 1962 Albania, Shkodër district, Prokletije Mts, Mollë, Shallë River at its influence to Koman Lake, N , E , 180 m, , 14 larvae, FZ-KT-MD (MM: ). New to Albania. BAUERNFEIND & SOLDÁN (2012) treated this species as species inquirenda, because not all stages are known, and they noted some minor contradictions between the original description and the original figures. However, the rather distinct habitus of our specimens fits well to IKONOMOV s (1962) plate 16 and morphological details (pls 17 19), leaving no doubt about their conspecifity. Baetis liebenauae Keffermüller, 1974 Albania, Delvinë district, Gjerë Mts, Muzinë, Syri i Kaltër, karst springs SW of the village, 155 m, N E , , 6 larvae, JP-KT-MD-PG (MM: ) Shkodër district, Omarë, spring fed lake and its outlet W of the village, N , E , 10 m, , 8 larvae, FZ-KT-MD (MM: ).

Montenegro, Podgorica municipality, Dinoša, Cijevna River at the village, N , E , 80 m, , 1 larva, FZ-KT-MD (MM: ). New to Albania and Montenegro. BAUERNFEIND & SOLDÁN (2012) enumerated it from (YU), the former Yugoslavia, because it was reported from Serbia with question mark (PUTHZ 1980: p. 345). Baetis melanonyx (Pictet, 1843) Albania, Bulqizë district, Çermenikë Mts, Ballenjë, open stream SW of the settlement, N , E , 1365 m, , 2 larvae, FZ- KT-MD (HNHM: 2012/56) Tiranë district, Gropë Mts, Bizë, open stream W of the settlement, N , E , 1265 m, , 1 larva, FZ-KT-MD (HNHM: 2012/54).

LEPTOPHLEBIIDAE Banks, 1900 Habrophlebia lauta Eaton, 1884 Albania, Bulqizë district, Çermenikë Mts, brooks in open forest beneath Mt. Kaptinë, N , E , 1600 m, , 1 larva, FZ-KT- MD (HNHM: 2012/58).

New to Portugal. BAUERNFEIND & SOLDÁN (2012) cite this species from Portugal, referring to GONZÁLEZ DEL TÁNAGO & GARCÍA DE JALÓN (1983). However, that paper reports only data from the Spanish part of the Duero basin. Serratella ikonomovi Puthz, 1971 Albania, Tiranë district, Gropë Mts, Shëngjergj, Erzen River below the village, N , E , 580 m, , 8 larvae, FZ-KT- MD (5 HNHM: 2012/63, 3 MM: ).

New to Montenegro. BAUERNFEIND & SOLDÁN (2012) enumerate it (AL) from Albania, because it was reported from the country with question mark (PUTHZ 1980: pp. 346, 352). The present data confirms its Albanian occurrence. CAENIDAE Newman, 1853 Brachycercus harrisellus Curtis, 1834 Croatia, Virovitica-Podravina county, Vojlovica, Vojlovica River at the bridge of road No. 2, N , E , 120 m, , 1 larva, KT-PG (MM: ).

New to Albania and Montenegro. Fig. 1 shows the pattern and size differences between mesonotum of Caenis robusta and C. strugaensis female larvae. It is worth to mention that specimens from Montenegro are small as figured, while the ones from Albania are of same size like C. robusta. a Fig. 1.
